This thread is a place for anyone who has questions for the Chairperson candidates to post those questions and receive answers. This is not a mandatory debate, but it is always helpful to answer questions from party members.

The next election for the Commercial Expansion Party is the election of two chairman, as the terms for myself and Lfowl have almost run their course. As such, anyone interested in running for Chairperson should sign their name here, otherwise they will not be included on the ballot.

Anyone wishing to be a candidate in our Legislative and Ministry Branches, please state your name and branch for which you want to be represented in! If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask!

As there were only two candidates running for chair, the new chairs of the Commercial Expansion Party are myself (/u/jcfjr) and Lfowl (/u/AnonymousMenace).

In accordance with the party constitution, we have each chosen our deputy chairs. I chose /u/dtg108 and Lfowl chose /u/Jersy007.

The other appointments are as follows:

William Howard Taft (/u/iBinbar) has been chosen to remain the Head of Legislative and Ministerial Affairs.

Voxel (/u/Voxellate) has been chosen to become the new Director of Publications. The Director of Publications is a new position, replacing the Head of Media, and is in charge of making written statements on behalf of the party.

Opertime (/u/opertime) has been chosen as the new Chief Diplomat. The Chief Diplomat is another new position, and is in charge of cooperation with Non-CEP parties and interest groups, and negotiating the terms of alliances and voting blocs in conjunction with party leadership.

Our Directors of Elections are Bohric (/u/Bohric), who returns to the position and iStrats (/u/Autonomous00), who will be replacing Opertime.

The Judicial board will remain the same, as they have done an exemplary job and their re-appointment reflects this.

We are still searching for a new Head of Propaganda. This role has been updated, and is now in charge of media statements made by the party. Posters and the like.

The changes to the constitution are the updated roles mentioned above.

Ladies, Gentlemen, and others, I present to you a thread of announcement! Now, for the non-formally presented details!

This announcement thread shall be open to all of those who wish to run for legislation in Democraciv through the CEP party - note, you must be a registered member of the party.

This primary cycle shall work as follows: Announcement day shall be the 10th of December. A town hall style fourm of debate shall take place on the 11th, and an election shall occur on the 12th.

The results shall be listed out in order, from most votes to least. Those results shall be submitted to the Democraciv election as the party's official candidate list.

So, anyone wishing to run for the party nomination towards legislative seats in Democraciv, please post your intention to do so below.
Good luck to all of those who are running. Cheers!

[ALL OF THOSE NOT RUNNING WHO HAVE A QUESTION THEY WOULD LIKE ASKED IN THE TOWN HALL, PLEASE RESPOND TO THE CORRESPONDING COMMENT BELOW. HIGHEST 'UPVOTED' QUESTIONS WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE CANDIDATES ON THE 11TH]

I, AnonymosMenace, announce my candidacy for Minister. I believe that my political mindset, my ability to collaborate, and my economic skills have been demonstrated by starting a party, and through strategic merges, helping form one of the largest parties to date. These skills can help me in the ministry become the political strength that we need.

So due to the timing of the Creation of our party, it is impossible to follow proper procedure (This party didn't exist a week ago).

However I will be running for Minister in the upcoming elections. As an author of the platform for the Commercial Expansion Party I believe very strongly in its values. I hope that I will be elected by this party to run for a Ministry Seat on the 15th.

I have experience in the Ministry having served as Sean Box's proxy and have stood in for him for an entire play session. A vote for me is a vote for an experience.

Hello everyone, I'm ready to announce my run for ministry for a 2nd time, to hopefully get in and push for the best interests of our party. I created the New Horizons Party originally, and now with this merger, I believe we have no limits to what we can accomplish!
